Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen

Publisher: Turtle Bay Books

Where I got it: from Mrs. Meadows memoir basquet

Once sentence summary: Kaysen is talking about when she was 18-years-old her experience of being in a psychiatric hospital; how she ran away from home and attempted suicide, she went to a doctor and told her she was going to stay in McLean(hospital) for a few weeks and stayed there for two years, many patients did not want to leave the safety of the hospital.

First Sentence: People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well.

First chapter review: they are talking about how she is in a hospital and about her roommates and all of her friends and many of their problems. then about how people slip into a parallel universe, like: world of insane, the criminals, the cripples, the dying, and the dead as well.

Verdict: i think this was some amazing book, it was easy to read and it was long but short at the same time. i enjoyed reading it.

Cover Comments: The cover is divided into two; a blue and a white side, but they both are the same picture of a girl. i think it means like what they said at the first chapter about the parallel sides, like the good and bad also.
